In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Ain't no worries, no
Boy, dance with me
Feel my body
Don't stop, just come closer to me
While we grind to the beat
And your body is touchin' my body
Gettin' bodied
Ain't no shame 'cause I gotta get mine
I swing my hair and kick off my shoes
Come here, boy, and let me work on you

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I like this song off her album, espeically the lyric 'A little sweat 'aint never hurt nobody'

What does "Get me bodied" mean?
this video is fantastic one of my favorites.
this video is fantastic one of my favorites.
What does "Get me bodied" mean?
This song is about how Beyonce becomes Sasha Fierce, which is a demonic spirit. <br /> See:<br /> <br /> "I aint worried doin me tonight<br /> A little sweat aint never hurt nobody<br /> Why yall standin on the wall? <br /> Im the one tonight gettin bodied<br /> Gettin bodied,gettin bodied<br /> Gettin bodied,getting bodied<br /> <br /> She's not worried about being herself because the demon spirit will control her. <br /> <br /> "want my body wont cha get me bodied<br /> you want my body wont cha get me bod"<br /> <br /> She is offering herself to the spirit to take over her.<br /> <br /> If you look at the video it is not a club, it it's a temple. You can see it because of the paganistic statues of egyptian gods and goddess.
Got this from the Urban Dictionary online: To have one's body against yours intimately while dancing to an urban hiphop beat eg. Beyonce's Get Me Bodied
Hope this helps.
But here goes Beyonce's answer: Everyone thinks in my song 'Get Me Bodied' on talkin about our bodies touchin each other. It's really killing my dance partner on the dance floor by dancing so much." -Beyonce
The video is one of the best I've ever seen.
